Select Method in LINQ MeThods in Entity Framework Core

Use Select method allows us to get the properties of the object and returns a new list of elements of a database using Entity Framework Core.

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var products = databaseContext.Products.Select(product => new
                {
                    Id = product.Id,
                    Name = product.Name,
                    Price = product.Price
                }).ToList();
                products.ForEach(product =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Id: " + product.Id);
                    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + product.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Price: " + product.Price);
                    Console.WriteLine("---------------------");
                });
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

You can use combination of Select method and Where method as below:

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var products = databaseContext.Products.Where(product => product.Status == true).Select(product => new
                {
                    Id = product.Id,
                    Name = product.Name,
                    Price = product.Price
                }).ToList();
                products.ForEach(product =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Id: " + product.Id);
                    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + product.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Price: " + product.Price);
                    Console.WriteLine("---------------------");
                });
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Name: Tivi 1
Price: 10
---------------------
Id: 12
Name: Laptop 1
Price: 15
---------------------
Id: 14
Name: Computer 1
